Creative nomad, designer and educator, Tereneh Mosley of Idia’Dega: Elegant Ethical Apparel , is on a crowdfunded odyssey, connecting Indigenous artisans in Africa and USA, one bead at a time. Moving throughout traditionally Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) land in the Northeastern US, she’s connecting the vibrant community of Native American artisans with Kenya’s Maasai in a ground breaking partnership.

In the words of Mathew Lesko she’s “having the time of her life bringing these cultures together and showing them how to use capitalism to support themselves.”
Her journey brings her to Washington, DC November 28 to visit cultural institutions and discuss this global eco-design collaboration, building a new fashion system and challenging the notion of appropriation/inspiration. Meet Tereneh Mosley and join the conversation at Artomatic.

Opening night is Friday, October 30. I’m in room 7-066 on the 4th floor. Please come and bring 10 or so of your best friends. You’ll have a blast.
This building has the best parking of any Artomatic so far. I haven’t seen the dance, music, film and workshop schedule yet but there will be plenty to experience so make several visits to take it all in. No need for a sitter. Bring the kids! Don’t forgot to bring your friends!! There’s plenty of space for all.

I have been a mother for most of my adult life, and each child has made me a stronger, more beautiful woman. The oldest is my inspiration; the middle has given me spirituality; and the youngest has given me youth. Being their mother brings me closer to my true self.

Nikki Giovanni once wrote “then I awoke and dug that if I dreamed natural dreams of being a natural woman doing what a woman does when she’s natural, I would have a revolution.” Giovanni’s poem Revolutionary Dreams best describes my experience as a mother; my own personal revolution. Like others, I wanted to change the world, stop hunger, stop crime… start a revolution to better the world. But then I became a mother and I realized that being a mother is the most natural and revolutionary thing I could have ever done!Lydia & Bayé-Jakada]]>https://mamaloveproject.wordpress.com/2014/06/12/revolution/feed/0mamaloveprojectLydia & Bayé-JakadaAyannahttps://mamaloveproject.wordpress.com/2014/05/29/ayanna/

I am constantly convicted in my heart as to what unconditional love truly means by becoming a Mother. My children push the love limits in a way that allows me to grow and I am so blessed because of it. Mama love is a love that exceeds all and is something to be cherished forever.
